After reading your post, it made me realize that this concept is used at every stage in life. When things turn out good, you most likely receive some type of reward. When something bad is done, people suffer the consequences....

I find this really interesting too and somewhat hard to wrap my mind around. Our brains do tricky things and no one's brains are alike. I like that aspect about each of us as an individual. My brain is most...

I do believe that it effects our communication skills not only in person but through emails or other forms of formal communication. People of our generation don't have as good as communication skills as those of our parents. My parents...

I also really liked the universal adaptivity concept and parenting styles. I feel that is a useful topic for all of us in the years to come due to starting families. The way a child is raised affects their outcome...

On a day-to-day basis people deal with making decision, whether they are influenced by others or not. I feel that five years from now the idea of social influence and social psychology will stick with me. Unconsciously, fellow peers influence...

I feel that all three of these are contributors. I don't know anyone personally that has had issues with eating disorders but I have seen it in movies and TV shows. People look up to the people in the media...

I feel that it is ridiculous and unfair how much emphasis is put on the ACT/SAT for entry to college. I took the test multiple times and went to preparation classes to do well on it. The out come did...

I believe that the answer if 50/50. Some people are genetically overweight and some people just have bad habits and become obese. Although those that are genetically larger can take the time to become fit but I feel that it...

I feel that the number of kids per couple depends on multiple things. I feel that getting into the double digits is not 100% manageable for any couple though. Each child deserve equal amount of love and care, the more...

This is very interesting because it is trying to prove what we studied in class wrong. I do believe that age has a lot to do with the type of influences that is left a gamer. A younger child doesn't...

I believe that children are all brought up differently, it depends on the background of how to the parent was brought up. Each family has different expectations and morals that they follow. I was brought up by the authoritative way....

Parents all around the U.S. are spending their money on baby videos that help their children learn at a younger age while some parents won't allow their children to have any type of screen time. Video's such as Alphabet...

I also agree, this is a cool thing to think about. I never realized that advertisers actually trick people into buying products. They say the opposite in all advertisements to make you want to see what the product is all...

The videos you posted were very interesting and entertaining to watch. I love hearing about Alzheimers because I work on memory care unit at an assisted living home. They say that the chance of getting the disease is very low...

I feel that this ad is really creative and definitely draws a connection us on a personally level with the ad being made out of people. One ad in particular that has made me feel strong emotions about is that...

This is an interesting post. It is funny because I feel that alot of college students use their phone during classes where as in high school you forced not too. But with this ringtone anyone could get away with being...

I thought your blog was very interesting and fun with the activities to try. When I took the quiz my scores for left and right brained were only one point off but I was more left-brained. Which i guess makes...

I agree that drug addiction is not really something genetic. I feel that drug addiction comes from the area you grew up and what you saw or was taught was right. If the people you hang around with are doing...

After Wednesday's discussion I was very curious about whether or not our genes really do influence people's criminal behavior. It is weird to think that criminal behaviors are being blamed more and more on a persons background especially genes. I...

Chapter 3 gives us an over view of nerve cells acting as our communication portals, the brain as our behavior network, endocrine system, mapping of the mind, and how we become who we are. The one thing I find the...

By the way, I really love your colorful fonts. It was the best design blog ever. Because of the concept, universal adaptivity, the early education is very important and it usually has a great impact on children. In addition, depending on what kind of parenting style the children have gone through, the children could have different opportunities in the future....

I think that 19 children is too many children and the parents could not have enough time to take care of each kid. In my opinion, it is very important to pay enough attention to the each kid because usually, they don't have an ability to set their identification themselves. In this case, 19 kids seem to be overwhelmed for the parents....

I was surprised to see that the shaping was discovered B.F. Skinner in UofM. I think shaping is the key for the animal training and I appreciate it. Without the discovery of shaping, we couldn't have seen the dolphin's amazing performances at the Sea World....

Funny how we have pretty negative comments about this couple for having so many children and there are families that only have 1 or 2 children and are the worst behaved children ever. Many parents work a lot of hours and when they finally come home to their "1 child" and instead of having dinner with their child or talking about their day, or even going out for a walk, parents go directly to their computers, cell phones, eating in front of the T.V., playing video games, ect...hmm, 19 children don't get enough attention from parents...sometimes one child does not...
